Looking for a decent sound bar, both for the bed room and the hall. Hall will have the set top box while the inside room will only have the fire stick, and games. Can you suggest options please? Budget is around 50k for both the bars. Thank you

Want to clean up my living room, so want to get rid of the Onkyo receiver, bookshelf speakers and the huge subwoofer, and replace with a decent soundbar. Trouble is, I had not been able to find a soundbar that is good with music.

Is there any sound bar out there that excels in music?

Bose soundbars are very good. I trust them since they have always excelled in these small speaker units. Check out the Bose Soundbar 700 with the Bass Module 700 and the surround speakers. I had the Yamaha YSP 900 for some time, and that was good too. In India they don't have the best/full range on offer, so source it from abroad.

Better option is Aux in this case, your tv can control volume and TV speakers are off.

Thanks.

If I use a 3.5mm to 2-Male RCA Adapter and connect it to the Line-In, will it sound better than connecting directly the 3.5mm ports using a stereo cable?

Nope, it won't be better. It will be too much of a hassle.

Please suggest a decent FM Receiver to hook up to my 'FX Audio' D802c amplifier. During the day would like to use my pioneer speakers which are connected to the amp to play FM stations.

I am looking for something with car FM player form factor which can belt out distortion free FM reception and also comes with preset station memory.

Please suggest!

Look up the Micro audio systems from Denon. They have tiny form factor and sound great.

If you want a one box solution that does surround audio too, only Yamaha YSP (sound projector line) does it. Not exactly one box, since these beam steering sound bars need a sub to operate full range, with the exception of the top line model which has Dolby Atmos too.

Denon HEOS soundbar sounds mind blowing. This is full range and has reasonable bass without a sub. Wireless surround option available.

If you don’t care about surround sound the Monitor audio ASB 10 is a crisp sounding unit.

Any indian brands? I am with a budget of around 2K for an FM stereo receiver which has an 'Aux' out.

My 2 year old Marantz PM6006 Stereo Amplifier developed a snag recently. The unit enters protection mode (status light flashing red) after playing for 10 minutes. I checked online and got to know this symptom is common among Marantz amplifiers. Have given it for service at the authorized service center in Bangalore and waiting for diagnostic results.

Anyone here faced similar issues?

Faced the same issue on my Pioneer VSX-917 AV receiver after almost 10 years of use. Same problem, protection mode and blue power LED flashes. Unfortunately, for me the part wasn't available anywhere as they had stopped shipping this model. I was actually planning to get a new AV receiver for some time now with Bluetooth/WiFi and decided to go in for the kill. Got home a new Yamaha RX-V685, and boy it blew me away.

You won't. A couple of tiny full range drivers paired with a cheap sub woofer is the reason why you will never be able to make peace with a sound bar.

Keep the Onkyo and stand mount speakers. Sell the rest, if clutter is coming in your way. While home theater equipment does not do all too well with music, you will be better off with one than a sound bar for sure.

Good brands -forget Indian brands - are hard to find - especially the dedicated FM receiver types. I had to settle for a wireless speaker system / sound bar. Found it on Amazon.



There are plenty of branded 2.0 and 2.1 speakers with multiple inputs (co-axial, line in, RCA, etc), aux out, Bluetooth and remote around 2 k INR (slightly more for models with multiple inputs) with FM built in. Check the product reviews for how good FM reception is.

Check out Norge Audio.

[Highh5]

Can someone please suggest a decent sound bar under 25k. And if anyone is using, then please share the feedback.
